I'd call it a good movie with great acting. Not quite on the level of Russell's previous films, due to the story never quite becoming truly engrossing. But the characters are all terrific, particularly Lawrence and Adams — the latter has never been sexier.

I'm looking forward to seeing Phoenix act in a less depressing sort of movie.

I quite liked Side Effects, though it didn't make my own list. You rarely get to see the hero be that smart/ruthless in dealing with the villain.

1. Gravity - The most visceral cinematic experience I've had in a long time. I feel sorry for future cinephiles who won't be able to see it in 3D on the big screen, which is not something I've felt even about the previous three live-action films where I thought 3D was an additive rather than a neutral or negative…

Listed in the order that they occurred to me:

No, only dragonglass (dragonglass, in turn, doesn't work on wights).

The same is true in the Riverlands, even if they weren't quite as directly effected by the Red Wedding itself. The Riverlords will rise up again the moment the opportunity presents itself.

It's not correct, on two levels. Firstly, because that's not actually what happened. As the exterior shots in that episode shows, it was not "a dozen men" that died. The Stark-Tully army was taken by surprise and slaughtered as well; in the books, 3500+ casualties. It's also a rather specious argument for Tywin to…

No, Theon was sent on an unglamorous side-mission, which he decided on his own initiative to turn into an attack on Winterfell. Yara was sent to tell Theon to withdraw from Winterfell with the hostages, who by that point had escaped and been "killed".

Yeah, he didn't submit. He wasn't among the show's own submissions (they picked three people of each gender; Dinklage, Coster-Waldau and Harrington for the gents; Clarke, Fairley and Headey for the ladies), but since he didn't submit himself, I tend to assume he just wasn't interested in the first place and advised…

The show does a much better job with Sansa as a character

Direct your complaints to Mr. Dance himself, who did not submit Charles Dance for consideration, hence he could not be nominated.

It was a fairly strong season, though not without problems. Though it "solved" one its biggest problems at the end by killing off Robb and Catelyn, so I don't have to suffer through them woefully mishandling those characters anymore.

So does Game of Thrones. Martin's characters have every bit as much plot armour as anybody on TWD, it's just that Martin misleads the audience about who exactly the main characters are. Ned was set up to look like the central protagonist of the story, when in fact he's the father who dies to inspire his children. …

He was in the eighth circle.

Considering Perry’s focus on off-color comedy and folksy “common sense,”
it seems inevitable that he’d end up making a movie with Larry The
Cable Guy

I hope his appearance involves him getting repeatedly tasered.

As much as the Globes often get accused (often deservedly) of star-fucking, they gave nominations to deserving people like Barkhad Abdi, a complete nobody on that score. The buzz on Captain Phillips had been dying down a bit of late, so the Globes gave Abdi a big boost to stay in the game for the Oscars.

I always found Cooper's "obnoxious alpha male" perception funny, since I primarily still think of him from his time on Alias, where he was the nicest guy on the show.

Yeah, the Gulf War hasn't really generated many movies. Three Kings, Courage Under Fire, and Jarhead are the only ones that come to mind. But that's 2/3 hit to miss ratio, so pretty good level of quality.
